This is my Camino. Welcome.
Can I just have a second to talk about grey? People say that black is the best color to wear, and they say it's the most versatile and the best and all that jazz. I beg to differ. Because you're not supposed to wear black with brown. Or blue. Or navy. (As if I follow... Continue Reading →
It occurs to me that mostly everything I'm wearing today comes with a story attached. And, while life has a timeline, I don't know the timeline to everything here, today. But, I'm wearing a dress I bought in Spain two summers ago. I had just finished walking the Camino de Santiago, and I saved a... Continue Reading →
At the beginning of Spring/ Summer I approach clothes like, "Oooo!! I will wear all of the cute, cute colors!" But now we're nearing the end of summer, and yesterday I was more just like, "How about--my favorite things? That is what I will do: wear my favorite things." That skirt was originally a too-short...

On Sunday I went to mass and some teenagers were doing a great job lectoring. Homegirl second reading (I think) went up to the ambo with a polka dot shirt and a striped skirt and I was like, "Shut the door, girl, you're making it count." Because all of the people know that I'm pro... Continue Reading →
I had a friend email me these words: "Talk to me about your sense of self." ...because this is the kind of people I know (and don't think I'm not aware of their goodness/ thankful for them--I'm aware. And thankful). So then I just talked about how I'm trying to find balance in the midst... Continue Reading →
It's no secret that I love my huge and old Buick...but winter has been hard on it, so this week I've been going to car lots and Craigslist ads and test driving all around the local cities. Oy. The hardest part is that I love my car--he's just, well, had enough. And I need a... Continue Reading →
You know what we haven't done in a very long time? Not since over a month ago, actually? A "What I Wore Wednesday." High time or high time? Yes, indeed, high time. Shall we start with the skirt? It kind of pops out and grabs the attention, so that's where we'll start. I bought that... Continue Reading →
I wore cute shoes too, I promise, the ones with the bows on the toes like Snow White. But, this was after a lunch time excursion, so no heels at the moment for me. Oh would ya look at that: I'm wearing the exact same skirt I wore last time I posted something like this.... Continue Reading →
Today I sport my Ashes. You could read a million internet things about what these mean, and they probably mean many different things to many different people. And God is good and personal like that, so no worries. What to mine mean this year? This morning I sang the song "Ashes" in the shower as... Continue Reading →
Let's just come right out and say it, right? Vest, vest, veeeeeest!! I raided the costume closet again. I'm telling you this because I believe in honesty. And humility, I guess. My excuse is the one I've made all year thus far and will CONTINUE TO MAKE even if it means I'm saying the same... Continue Reading →
